OUR ORGANIZATIONS
“Orthodox Christianity is a way of life in which there is a profound and direct relationship between dogma and praxis, faith and life. This unity of faith and life means that the reality of the eternal truths lies in their experiential power, rather than in their codification into a set of ideological constructs.”
— His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew —
